Phone call regarding a settlement for agent orange exposure (which the scammed individual was exposed to). Scammer said that if the individual would give them information that he would receive a settlement check within a week. Scammer's phone number appeared as ""phoenix AZ 33). They stated they were with the federal government and were giving out settlements to those exposed to agent orange.

I met a man named Arthur Yi on the hinge dating app. We started taking and getting to know each other. He said he was an e-commerce business owner in downtown LA and that he lives in San Morino. He told me to invest in crypto and that he would teach me how he make money through trading. He got me to agree to starting off investing 2k and that he’d show me how I’d make profit and that I could cash out and have it in my bank that same night. This was proven to be true. I made a $450 profit and it made it to my bank. After that he pushed and pushed for me to go bigger in my investment and convinced me I’ll make bigger money just as fast if I invest more since he had shown me I believed he was true. After investing a total of 10k I “made money” trading on this fake BMO site. When I wanted to withdraw and get the money I put in and made in that bank that’s when all of the extra money I was told by “the bank” I owed income tax and multiple risk deposits. I was fooled. By the I had to ask my parent and brother to help with these extra fees which I was told and believed that after I payed these off I would get my money in my bank.

I have worked with the Long Beach CA police department to open an investigation.

Faldo pretense- obtained money

Please help me [censored] down this website and stop this man or group of people from doing this to anyone else. I have lost my life’s saving and my family’s money do to this scam. I have given the police screen shots of our conversations and photos of the steps he was putting me through.

I invested 12,000 for them to lock and freeze the account so i cant withdraw it i tried and they said i have to pay them taxes in bitcoin to withdraw the money

The caller claimed to be from BMO, wanted to offer home360 enrollment including a free month. They knew my name and postal code. They started asking basic info (confirm address, email) and then tried to get personal info (place of birth under the guise of using it as a password)

In lieu of that they asked to make up a password, presumably to check against online accounts. I avoided the problem for the most part - feel foolish it went so far. I did say yes to certain questions... Didn't realize even saying yes these days is a risk. I followed up with BMO and it appears to be a scam.

Hopefully won't come back to haunt me.

I received a text saying to go to bankofmontreal-online.com and verify my BMO account. I do not have one

I received this on Messenger on my cell phone:

"Due to your recent banking activities with your BMO card, we require you to confirm your PVQ with us to avoid it's suspension, use www.bmo-online.info to secure"

I do not have a BMO card and if I ever did , it has not been used. When I went to the website (out of curiosity) it wanted my information and wouldn't go further without it.

This is the email sent to me. I don't even have a BMO account, but I suspect this is a scam.
